U.S. Tornadoes
Dear
sisters and brothers in Christ,
God
is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Yesterday, a two-mile-wide tornado
ripped through Moore, Okla., claiming many lives and leaving behind a
devastating trail of destruction. Plaza Towers Elementary School stood
right in the path of the storm's 166-200 mph winds.
Many
Oklahoma residents already were recovering from storms even
before Monday's tornado hit -- hundreds of homes were damaged or
destroyed this weekend as 28 tornadoes touched down throughout Oklahoma,
Kansas, Texas, Illinois and Iowa. As strong winds and warm fronts continue
to move across the nation, the threat for future tornado outbreaks is
looming.
Your help is needed to bring hope
to our sisters and brothers in need. Lutheran Disaster Response affiliates
are already on the ground, assessing the immediate and long-term needs of
those affected by the tornadoes. We already know it will be a long road to
recovery, and your gifts are needed now to begin coordinating volunteers, rebuilding
homes and offering spiritual and emotional care to those in need.
Please give now. Your gifts designated to “U.S.
Tornadoes” through Lutheran Disaster Response will be used entirely -- 100
percent -- to help survivors of tornadoes rebuild their lives and
livelihoods.
Thank you for your gifts, your
prayers and your partnership.
In service to Christ,
The Rev. Daniel Rift
Director,
ELCA World Hunger and Disaster Appeal
P.S. Please give generously and continue to pray for those whose
lives have been uprooted by this disaster. Use this bulletin insert to share this information with your
congregation. Find more resources and information at www.ELCA.org/disaster.

In the Pentecost Season we pray together…….
Our Father who art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as
it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from
evil. For thine
is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen
Our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story.
Holy Trinity’s Story and The ELCA’s story is both ancient and timely. It’s a
story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of
the world, who brings justice for the oppressed. It’s a story of Jesus
Christ, changing lives. It’s a story that brings comfort and strength to
people who today live in modern, often unsettling times. Learn more about our
beliefs—and become a part of our story.
